Server world resets
Server world resets lets a server owner return a world to a chosen saved state each time the server restarts, and it is set up through server.properties.
What it does
The mod was made for server owners who want the world to revert to a particular state when the server restarts, a need the author found unmet by existing tools while building the Blackthorn Arena. Each reset uses two world folders inside the server directory, so a version can be kept ready and swapped in when the world needs to be changed or broken.
On the first run the mod adds a configuration entry to server.properties, the file where the server stores its settings. The default world name is set to New World, and the configuration can be changed to point at another world name, which replaces the existing world when the server restarts. Two worlds with different names can be copied and kept in sync through the same configuration.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. The license is All rights reserved and the code is not open source.
Key features
Scheduled world revert
The world returns to its saved state each time the server restarts, without manual file copying.
Two world folders
A second world folder in the server directory holds the version to restore, so the live world can be replaced cleanly.
Configurable world name
The world name in the configuration can be changed to replace the existing world with another one.
Automatic configuration
The first run creates the settings in server.properties, with New World as the default name.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a world to return to a set state on restart, and who run a NeoForge server for 1.21.1. Players need nothing installed, since the mod is server-side only.
How it compares
Simple Server Restart is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, so it does not target NeoForge 1.21.1. WorldResetter is Fabric and open source under the MIT License for 1.21.11 – 26.3, also outside 1.21.1. ResetWorld is a Fabric file for 1.21.4 under the MIT License, and it does not run on NeoForge.
